While Muslims successfully carried out a genocidal attack on Hindus in Bangladesh during recent Hindu festivities, to assume that enthusiastic Muslims allow their own festivals to be carried out peacefully would be naive. An interesting news item that has been carefully kept from the public is the unrest that erupted in several districts of Madhya Pradesh, India during the recent processions held for Milad-un-Nabi, the birthday of the prophet of Islam. Incidents of unrest were reported in Jabalpur, Barwani and Dhar.
Police allegedly resorted to lathi-charge and lobbed tear gas shells after some Muslims flung firecrackers and stones at them in the city of Jabalpur’s Machhali Bazaar, where people had gathered for prayers to mark Milad-un-Nabi.
“Police personnel were deployed in Machhali Bazaar as it is a sensitive area. They used lathi-charge and lobbed tear gas shells in self-defense after some persons threw firecrackers and stones at police,” clarified the Superintendent of Police Siddharth Bahuguna.
District collector Karmveer Sharma, informed journalists that the perpetrators have been identified and due action will be taken against them. Evidence has also been established that this was not a case of mayhem suddenly breaking out, but a well-planned riot, worked out for days before the event at an Islamic cleric’s residence in Anangnagar.
Though the police had apprised them of the Covid protocols, the meeting held at the Maulana’s residence plotted this riot and raised funds for around 50 thousand firecrackers, heedless of the fact that the high courts, including the Supreme Court of India, have repeatedly placed bans on the use of firecrackers. Around 40 people have been detained so far in this case, including four minors; it has been reported that several of these accused were participants in the anti-National Register of Citizens (NRC) riots that were orchestrated last year.
Not surprisingly, during the Milad-un-Nabi procession in Dhar, the crowds flouted advisories and crossed beyond the permitted route for the procession.
Eyewitnesses state that the police had to use force to disperse the gathering after a clash broke out over the route. The police, however, refute the claims that they used lathis at the gathering. Dhar SP Aditya Pratap Singh stated, “There was no incident of lathi charge as such. A route was fixed for the Milad-un-Nabi procession, but some disruptive people got involved and insisted on taking the traditional route. Such people were forced out and the procession was later taken out peacefully.”
Further, taking leads from footage from the CCTVs in the area, the police have identified 51 individuals who were involved in the disturbances during the Milad-un-Nabi procession. Devendra Patidar, the Additional Superintendent of Police, confirmed that “a case has been registered under sections 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant), 147 (rioting) and hampering the government work of the IPC and provisions of the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act for violation of coronavirus guidelines, deviating from the agreed route and disturbing the law-and-order situation.” Apart from these, he added that several other incidents of violence and unrest had also been reported from other places.
The procession celebrating Milad-un-Nabi began in Gulmohar Colony and was planned to return to the same place after going through several predetermined areas in the city. Eyewitnesses, however, assert that the procession turned towards the Mohan Talkies area after reaching Old Nagar Palika, which led to a dispute between the police and the participants in the procession.
The eyewitnesses also revealed that the police were compelled to take to lathi-charge after members of the procession sat down on the road, adding that the procession was later moved from Hatwara, Rajwada and closed at Muradpura.
Miscreants at the processions of Milad-un-Nabi held in Madhya Pradesh’s Barwani district went a step beyond what their counterparts did at other locations, and began throwing stones at the police, causing serious injuries to one police officer. It is alleged that the unrest in Rajpur town was triggered by a clash over an “offensive” song being played during the demonstration, said police officials.
Sub Divisional Magistrate Vir Singh Chouhan reveals, “The procession had been taken out without permission….force was used to disperse unruly people. Some people including a police official were injured.”

Violence as a way of celebrating the founder of Islam! How appropriate! Mohammed planned and committed one violent act every six weeks in the last 9 years of his life. To celebrate his birthday with an act of jihad is the right thing for a Muslim to do. What better way to honor that Bronze-Age pirate?

The latter article says, “Milad un Nabi anniversary is repeated every year on the twelfth day of the month of Rabi’ al-Awwal and his birth – PBUH – was on the twelfth Monday of the month of Rabi’ al-Awwal of the Year of the Elephant, in the area of Bani Hashim in Mecca according to the Prophet’s saying – PBUH – when he was asked about the reason for his fasting on Monday: (on it I was born and on it it was revealed to me).”
Huh? In the month the Prophet (PBUH) was born, there were twelve Mondays. It’s a miracle!

India started the process of removing this evil element in the mid to late 40’s which created what we know as Pakistan today. It’s clear leaving even one Muslim in greater India is inconsistent with maintaining any semblance of peace in their nation. Bite the bullet, deal with the woke international outcry, and rid your nation of this scourge. Your children will thank you.
Islam has absolutely no place is any civilized society.

Very true!

There was violence in Israel too on the birthday. And the Muslims will always blame something the kuffar have done to insult Islam or Mohammed. It’s important for us Jihad Watchers to be aware of the Muslim calendar and the annual holidays and anniversaries they celebrate. A graph could easily show an uptick in attacks, violence and murder around those dates.
